upgrade to Fedora 32 changes the default image viewer from eog to gimp
This has been reported downstream here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1810907
If you install GIMP in Fedora 31 (this doesn't change the default image viewer, so all pictures are by default still opened with "Image Viewer" - eog), and then upgrade to Fedora 32, the default image viewer changes to GIMP. So all pictures (png, jpg) that you click on in Nautilus get opened by GIMP. You have to go to gnome-control-center -> Default applications and change the default application back to Image Viewer, or you need to change the default association for each affected file type (mime type) using Nautilus' "Open With" dialog.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 31:
eog-3.34.2-1.fc31.x86_64
gimp-2.10.18-1.fc31.x86_64
gnome-control-center-3.34.4-1.fc31.x86_64
nautilus-3.34.2-2.fc31.x86_64

Fedora 32:
eog-3.35.92-1.fc32.x86_64
gimp-2.10.18-1.fc32.x86_64
gnome-control-center-3.35.92-1.fc32.x86_64
nautilus-3.35.92-1.fc32.x86_64
shared-mime-info-1.15-2.fc32.x86_64
How reproducible: always
Steps to Reproduce:
- install a clean F31 (or use some existing one where you haven't modified the default image viewer)
- install GIMP (due to modularity issues still being unresolved during system upgrade, this is easier to do with "dnf install gimp --disablerepo=*-modular")
- open gnome-control-center -> Default applications and check that Image Viewer is still the selected option for "Photos"
- check that .jpg and .png files open with Image Viewer (eog), when double clicked from Nautilus
- upgrade to Fedora 32
- see that .jpg and .png files are opened by GIMP when double clicked from Nautilus
- open gnome-control-center -> Default applications and see that GIMP is the selected option for "Photos"
Actual results: upgrade changes the default image viewer application to GIMP
Expected results: upgrade doesn't change the default image viewer application
